Vinyl fencing consistently tops the list of low-maintenance fencing, making it a popular and well-loved option for property owners. However, in order to make sure it looks new and fresh for years to come, it will require some maintenance and attention. <\/span>Williams Fence of C.N.Y., Inc.<\/span><\/a>, a top-rated Central NY fence company, offers the following tips to help you keep your fence beautiful for a lifetime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintenance Tips for Vinyl Fencing in Central NY<\/b><\/h2>\n

Vinyl fencing<\/span><\/a> is manufactured for durability and attractiveness. Because of the way it is designed, it doesn\u2019t chip, rot, peel, fade, or fall prey to insect damage. Unlike wood fencing, vinyl never needs to be stained, painted, or sealed, which makes it very easy to maintain. These are just a few reasons that make vinyl fencing attractive for property owners who want a beautiful fence without spending a lot of time maintaining it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While these reasons are compelling, there are still a few tips that should be followed to ensure that your Central NY vinyl fence remains in good condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#1 – Periodically<\/b> Inspect Your Fence\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Regular inspection of your Central NY vinyl fence ensures that small issues do not turn into large issues. At least once or twice a year, check your fence line and fence posts. Take a small toolkit with you and make note of anything that needs to be repaired. Gently shake the fence posts to see that they are still strong. If there is any damage that cannot be repaired while you are inspecting your fence, make a note. Remember to check the gates and hardware. Tighten brackets and loose screws as you come across them. Taking care of these small jobs will keep them from turning into big jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 – Wash Regularly<\/b><\/h3>\n

One easy way to clean vinyl fencing is by using a garden hose. This works well to remove excess leaves or dirt, especially after a storm. If the hose won\u2019t remove the debris, use a mild, soapy detergent and a rag to gently scrub the buildup. Avoid using abrasive or harsh chemicals and cleaners, as they can dull the surface of the fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 – Clean Mold & Mildew<\/b><\/h3>\n

If there are sections of the fence that are shady or exposed to moisture, then mold and mildew can sometimes become a problem. Regularly cleaning the fence helps to minimize this possibility, but if it turns into a bigger issue a mild bleach solution or commercial mold remover should be used. Wear protective gloves and clean the mildew and mold off with the cleaner you choose. Be careful not to use abrasive cleaners, and avoid excessive bleach use. These can damage the finish. If you are still having trouble removing the stains, call one of our fence experts at Williams Fence, your helpful Central NY fence company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 – Assess Surrounding Landscaping\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Check the trees along your fenceline for loose limbs and branches that have the potential to damage your fence in a storm. Be sure to cut them back and prune them when needed. Other bushes and plants can cause damage, so if possible, mindfully plan where you will plant your landscaping. There can be additional moisture around landscaping, which can also create additional mold and mildew. If this becomes a problem, follow the guidance in Step #3 above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#5 – Promptly Repair\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Following these steps will keep your Central NY vinyl fence looking great for many years. If you discover an issue that cannot be quickly repaired during your regular fence inspections, be sure to fix them as soon as possible. Otherwise, you run the risk of manageable repairs turning into expensive, difficult repairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
